Andy Abramson If the law passes in France, then the all new buildings and high rise apartments will be fitted with fiber optic cable as part of a 15 billion dollar program to modernize and provide the citizens super fast Internet. Now, why can’t we do that in the USA?
PC World’s Stephen Manes has a mixed review about the trials and tribulations of canceling phone service with Quest and migrating to T-Mobile. I totally agree though with the closing line though, and it mirrors my advice some years back where I suggested consumers choose a company that will be around.
GigaOm’s Texas Rose Stacey Higginbotham tells us that AT&T has hotspots running in San Antonio. Yesterday KenRadio’s Ken Rutkowski told me he was in a New York City Starbucks on an AT&T connection and was already doing his best imitation of me…Complaining about the speeds vs. what they used to be like.

It’s been almost a year since Google made its move and smartly scooped GrandCentral (for sake of transparency my agency represented them through the purchase and for a short time after handling blogger relations.) Now the usually tightlipped co-founder, Craig Walker, has updated the largely dormant GrandCentral blog with a signal that something new is … Read more
Om reports that OOMA is not dead yet and has hired a new Chief Marketing Officer. What I love is the comment from Om about PhoneGnome, a company which I helped launch and remain an advisor to. The continual comparisons, rightly so speak to the smarts and insight that TelEvolution founder, and PhoneGnome creator David … Read more
